Momma Cat and Her Kitten
by Kristen Tsapis 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

A young man pulled his car over across the street and dropped off a young momma calico and her kitten. The kitten came to us easily, but momma was a different story. Anyway, I have these two at my house and am in need of someone to help me with next steps - including telling me what the next steps are - I've called Animal Rescue and left a voicemail and filed an abandoned/found animal form online. Anyone want two stray cats? Kristen

voting district 13
by Diane Averill 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Dear Neighbors, On Election Day, at our usual polling place at Dilworth School, there were five people working to enable voters from our District 13 to cast their ballots. Of those five, only one was actually a resident of District 13; the rest were drawn from as far away as Squirrel Hill. I just thought that it was important to let this be known and taken under advisement as we go forward in preserving our democracy. Diane Averill

The 18th annual Gingerbread House Display and Competition returns in 2020 in a new virtual format that will showcase the impressive edible structures by posting an online photo gallery available throughout the holiday season. The competition is open to individuals, families, organizations, students and chefs. "The City of Pittsburgh is proud to serve as the presenter of this popular holiday tradition, and we're excited to design a new format that will allow the display to take place in 2020," said Brian Katze, Manager of the City of Pittsburgh Office of Special Events. "We're excited to introduce an interactive element this year in the form of a PEOPLE'S CHOICE award, and we're encouraging everyone to visit the gallery and vote for their favorite entry." To enter the 18th annual Gingerbread Competition, individuals must upload photos of their gingerbread creations by November 15 by visiting www.pittsburghpa.gov/gingerbread <https://pittsburghpa.gov/gingerbread/>. Each person/group entering the competition must complete an online entry form and upload two photos of the structure taken in front of a solid background (both front view and side or 3/4 view photos are required). A panel of judges will then choose award recipients. Beginning on Friday, November 20, an online gallery will feature photos of all entries and offer individuals viewing the gallery an opportunity to vote for the new PEOPLE’S CHOICE award winner. The Gingerbread House Display and Competition launched in 2002 when Downtown hotels held a competition to benefit the Children’s Hospital Free Care Fund. Since then, the competition has attracted thousands of entries displayed at PPG Place before moving to the City-County Building Grand Lobby in 2019. The 2020 Gingerbread House Display and Competition is presented by the City of Pittsburgh Office of Special Events in partnership with KDKA Radio, 100.7 Star, and Y108.

by Caito - 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Great quality in really good condition. 3' x5' It was used under a coffee table so never walked on. Very heavy weight rug from smoke free pet free home. There are a couple of spots on it but I think they are imperfections in the wool, not stains. I can send additional photos, Thank you, caito 412.848.7208 [cid:64603b92-fb69-4e70-864b-d1ae82cb213a]

by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

The Super Playground in Highland Park is overdue for a replacement and work is already underway for a new playground to be installed next year. So far this fall, the City's contractor has collected design ideas through an online survey and a community engagement activity at the last HPCC Zoom Community Meeting. They are currently developing preliminary designs, but there's still time to give your input! Attached is a PDF called Super Playground Design Worksheet. Print page two and cut out and use (or draw) the playground symbols on the plan to design your dream playground. Print page three or find a blank sheet of paper and draw a picture of yourself in your dream playground. When you're finished, scan or take a photo of your creations and email them to *andrea.ketzel(a)pittsburghpa.gov <andrea.ketzel(a)pittsburghpa.gov>* or upload them at the EngagePGH website: *https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground> * Then mark your calendars: *On December 3, there will be another Zoom community engagement meeting to review design ideas.* Details to follow! -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
